Spring Hanging Towels

I just wanted to share what I started over Easter break and finished yesterday in between church, hunting for Easter baskets, and eating tons of food. My Gram's birthday and my godmother's birthday is in April, so I told them I'd make an Easter hanging towel for them. I had four towels, so I was able to make 8 all together. Only five are shown:

Since I last made the shamrock one, I did find out that I can make a buttonhole with my sewing machine. However, I can't find the manual so I still don't know how to use it. So I'm still sewing snaps on the towels like I did here. I did figure out that I can sew the button on at the same time as the snap, so that made it MUCH easier than the first time I did it. I actually like the snaps and will probably keep with it even if when I do figure out how to use it.

I gave all of them away as gifts, except for one. I think they turned out just springy :)

Can't access the pattern. Must be logged in and a member of the blog. Would love to become a member if there was a link to do so. This is super frustrating! Why have the pattern if people have to jump thru hoops to access it.

I'm not sure why the link isn't working - maybe the original owner of the pattern took away the link. Here is another that is exactly what I used: http://www.woodberrydesigns.com.au/SAB-HangingHandTowel.pdf

About Me

Welcome to Simply DIY2! My husband and I bought our first house in May (2011) and I am happily making changes (sometimes with Kerry's help) to make it into our own. I'll be sharing my experiences and projects as I go along. Hope you enjoy the blog and can use the ideas as inspiration to do it yourself too!
